I am knew to all of this digital recording so my question may sound stupid but my H4 has vers 1.00 software and I want to upgrade to the new software vers. 2.00. Do I need to download the early versions like 1.10 or can I go directly to vers. 2?

Also, I guess I do this with my computer hooked up to to the Zoom H4 with a USB cable. Is that correct?

I own a H2. But I have already upgraded my firmware and I guess it's the same thing.
So I think you can safely download and install directly v2.0 as Zoom don't mention any warning about that (don't forget to follow the instructions on Zoom website).

Also, I guess I do this with my computer hooked up to to the Zoom H4 with a USB cable. Is that correct?

-> Yes. Use the H4 as a SD card reader. Copy the files and reboot following the instructions.

I had a thought about whether there should be a wiki linked to this forum to act as an easy reference for tips etc. Searching old posts can work, but information can get out of date. I would be happy to contribute. Anyone else?

The FAQs on the Zoom site are pretty good and got translated to English at some point. Obviously they will not point out flaws with the products.
